A RARE RED LACQUER 'MONGOL HUNT' BOWL, ATTRIBUTED TO ZHOU ZHUChina, 16th-17th century. The deep rounded sides rising from a short straight foot to an everted rim. Deeply carved with a continuous scene of four Mongolian hunters on horseback brandishing spears, one having just killed a wolf with his weapon, riding through a rocky landscape with grass and lingzhi as well as trees including paulownia, willow, and pine, against a floral diaper ground, the interior lacquered black. Provenance: Captain W. F. Collins (1865-1948), Beijing. Bluett & Sons, London, 26 May 1926. The Parry Collection of Chinese Art, London, acquired from the above and thence by descent. The base with an old collector's label, '341', partly obscuring a label from Bluett & Sons below. A copy of the original typed, stamped, and signed invoice from Bluett & Sons, dated 26 May 1926, addressed to “E. A. Parry, Esq.”, dating the present lot to the Ming dynasty, accompanies this lot. Captain Collins (1865-1948), was Bluett's main supplier in China from February 1925 to January 1928. He also sold pieces to John Sparks and other dealers in London and Paris between the 1920s and 1940s. The Parry Collection was an important English private collection of Imperial enamel, lacquer, porcelain, and jades, started by Edward Arthur Parry (1879-1946), a barrister by trade, and his wife Angela Parry (nee Scully, 1879-1977) from as early as 1919. The collection has passed down three generations of the Parry family, with many of the pieces having been acquired from the famous London dealers Spink and Bluett's.Condition: Good condition with old wear, natural age cracks and few minuscule losses to the red lacquer, the black lacquer with several shallow losses to the rim and associated old minor touchups.Weight: 119.0 gDimensions: Diameter 10.7 cmWith a finely carved hardwood stand dating to the Qing dynasty. (2)Lacquer bowls depicting hunting are extremely rare. Although hunting was extolled by early Ming Emperors who had inherited the tradition from the Mongol Yuan as a sign of military prowess and state authority, by the mid and late Ming period it was seen by the literati as a distraction from grave matters of state. The role of hunting became a charged area of contestation, where Ming Emperors and senior court ministers staked claims about rulership, ruler-minister relations, and the role of the military in the polity. The heirless Zhengde Emperor (1505-1521) was particularly passionate about hunting, much to the consternation of his ministers, see D. M. Robinson, Martial Spectacles of the Ming Court, Cambridge MA, 2013, pp. 214-220.Expert's note: Research conducted by Hugh M. Moss of the Water, Pine and Stone Retreat, concerning a red lacquer box and cover carved with a closely related scene of five Mongolian hunters (see Auction result comparison), has found that box “to be a lacquer version of inlaid wooden boxes decorated with a hunting scene and attributed to the 16th-century artist Zhou Zhu.” For this reason, we do attribute the present bowl, identical in quality to the aforementioned box, to Zhou Zhu as well.Zhou Zhu is recorded in the writings of the Ming and Qing literati as having worked in Yangzhou in Jiangsu province during the reign of the Jiajing Emperor. He was famous for his perfection of the technique of inlaying a wide variety of precious stones and other materials onto wood and lacquer. What distinguishes Zhou's works from others is his use of a much broader range of material and the complexity of the inlay itself. By skillfully utilizing kaleidoscopic materials to depict extraordinarily vivid scenes adorning precious woods, Zhou pioneered a range of beautifully inlaid works of art distinctive for their three-dimensional quality with eye-catching effects. His work provided inspiration for numerous subsequent interpretations. Literature comparison: Compare a hardstone-inlaid box and cover, attributed to Zhou Zhu and depicting a Mongolian hunting scene, dated by inscription to 1537, at Sotheby's Hong Kong in Water, Pine and Stone Retreat Collection – Scholarly Art on 7 October 2010, lot 2192.

A similar hunting scene can be found on a two-colored lacquer tray in the Tokugawa Art Museum, Nagoya, illustrated in Karamono.

AN ETCHED AND ENAMELED GLASS 'WINTER LANDSCAPE' SNUFF BOTTLE, BY DAUM NANCY, EARLY 20TH CENTURYOpinion: The present lot, with its classic round form and short everted neck, is without a doubt a snuff bottle, as opposed to the more common perfume bottles which are always larger in size, typically varying between 12 and 18 cm. This means that the present lot was specifically designed as an export article for the Chinese market and thus must be considered extremely rare.France, circa 1910. Of flattened globular form, superbly painted in bright enamels to depict a winter landscape with bare trees and bushes against a reddish-orange ground suggestive of the evening sky. The swirled opaque glass with orange and yellow streaks, edged, cut, and finely polished. The base with an enameled mark Daum Nancy with the cross of Lorraine.Provenance: From the private collection of Tuyet Nguyet and Stephen Markbreiter. The base inscribed 'Daum & Nancy'. Tuyet Nguyet was the founder and chief editor of Arts of Asia. She married Stephen Markbreiter, an English architect, in 1959 and moved to Hong Kong to work as a journalist. Arts of Asia's first regular edition appeared in 1971. In the magazine, Nguyet sought to combine authoritative content from major experts with detailed coverage of the Asian art market. Tuyet Nguyet was an early member of The International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, attending her first convention in 1973, and was later elected as an honorary member. Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear and possibly very light retouching to the mouth rim.Stopper: Pearl stopper with silver mountingWeight: 23.4 g Dimensions: Height 52 mm. Diameter neck 11 mm and mouth 6 mmDaum was created in 1892 by Auguste Daum (1853-1909) and Antonin Daum (1864-1930) in the French town Nancy. They developed the Art Nouveau style for which they received the 'Grand Prix' medal at the world exhibition in 1900. Daum glass works are known for their motifs of scenery and nature with mostly plants or flowers. Daum formed the Ecole de Nancy (Nancy School) together with other glass and furniture factories operating in the French city of Nancy. Acid etching was often combined with carving, enameling, and engraving on a single piece of glass to produce creative glass masterpieces.

Stevens Collection, 22-31 October 1978, cat. no. 92.China. The stoneware bottle of rounded rectangular form, with a cylindrical neck, and tapering to a recessed oval foot, enameled in blue and reserved on each side with a recessed panel, finely carved and decorated in opaque colored slips, one side depicting a pair of Pekinese dogs, and on the other a pair of doves. The coral stopper finely carved with a bat.Provenance: From the collection of Bob C. Stevens, no. 336. Sotheby's Honolulu, Fine and Important Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Collection of Bob C. Stevens, Part I, 7 November 1981, lot 69. Rachelle R. Holden, New York, acquired from the above. Bob C. Stevens was an enthusiastic collector of Chinese snuff bottles who published an important book on the subject, The Collector's Book of Snuff Bottles, in 1976. In 1978, a part of his collection was exhibited in Tokyo at Mikimoto Hall. Rachelle R. Holden (1934-2020) was a famous collector of Chinese snuff bottles. She purchased her first bottle in 1974, finding the subject fascinating as it combined all the classic forms of Chinese art, and would continue to passionately collect them for the rest of her life.Condition: Magnificent condition with minor old wear, light surface scratches, very few touched-up glaze flakes and microscopic pits.Stopper: Carved coral (minuscule age cracks and chips to stopper)Weight: 44.1 gDimensions: Height including stopper 71 mm. Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 6 mm.The Daoguang Emperor and his consort were fond of doves and small dogs, respectively, as subjects of paired doves and Pekingese dogs became popular during this period. The symbolism imbued in the pairs of dogs and doves implies a wish for happy marriage.The dove-and-dog Yixing bottles were made in sets and in several different series. One of the finest versions of all is seen in the present lot, with its rounded rectangular shape, blue surround and multi-colored slip decoration. The slip is both painted with a brush and plastered on and carved, or at least manipulated with a blade of some sort. This is the same technique as that of the Slip Master (see for example Moss, Treasury 6, lots 1448-1451), but it is a quite different, more evolved style, with a number of different colors of slip used almost like enamels. This is typical of artistic evolution in the snuff-bottle arts, where a simple idea, drawn initially from the painting style of the literati with its predominance of monochrome ink painting, evolves to a more complex style as the possibilities of the medium are explored. These bottles with their more intriguing designs and multiple colors may be the later wares by the Slip Master, perhaps with a son taking over, or they may be from a different workshop, although we are inclined towards the first option. The bulk of the known examples probably date from the earlier part of the Daoguang reign, although the type may have remained popular throughout the reign. As a rule, however, it is not likely that an Imperial type remained fashionable for thirty years without noticeable changes in style.The dogs and doves on this series are always extremely well depicted, full of life, and the limited range of colors of slip available to the carvers are very thoughtfully and effectively used. While the form remains reasonably constant, and the subject matter is always the same, there are several different compositions within the series. Either each was made as an individual composition of the same theme, or each series was redesigned. Two more are illustrated in Stevens 1976, as nos. 334 and 336, both equally well worked. Between them, however, is a rare example (no. 335) with an enameled design of the same subject, still with the blue surround, that is quite poorly painted, even by the decorative standards of Yixing. The painted version may come from a time later in the reign when the enamel workshop responsible for so many earlier bottles was beginning to show signs of decline.Yixing in Jiangsu province gives its name to this distinctive stoneware. In production for nearly a thousand years in the same place, Yixing ware only came into artistic prominence in the later Ming dynasty, when it was adopted by the literati class as a suitable material for teapots and thence for other items for the scholar's studio. Slip-decorated snuff bottles constitute a considerable portion of the known output. Slip is simply liquid clay which can be applied like a thick paint or used for gluing segments together.Literature comparison: Compare a Yixing bottle decorated with landscape scenes set within a blue-enameled surround, and impressed with a cyclical date, jiyu (1849) is illustrated in An Imperial Qing Tradition, Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Collections of Humphrey K.

The MacLean Collection of Asian Art Museum, acquired from the above, and deaccessioned in 2022. The MacLean Collection has been formed over the last fifty years by Barry MacLean, a businessman from Chicago, who began to collect in the early 1970s.

A FAMILLE ROSE 'HUNDRED DEER' HU-FORM VASE, GUANGXU MARK AND PERIODOpinion: While hu-form vases with the 'hundred deer' motif that date from the 19th century frequently appear on the market, they almost always have apocryphal Qianlong reign marks. The present lot, however, with its fine enameling and large deer-head handles, belongs to the extremely rare group of Guangxu mark and period vases with this motif.China, 1875-1908. The vase of pear shape is finely decorated with a continuous scene of the 'hundred deer' motif depicting a gathering of deer amidst various trees including pine and peach, in a landscape of blue-green rocks and mountains, and a river fed by a waterfall on one side. The neck is flanked by a pair of handles in the form of deer heads with black antlers. The base with a neatly painted iron-red six-character mark da Qing Guangxu nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: From an old European private collection, assembled before 1965. Thence by descent to the last owner.Condition: Very good condition with minor old wear, glaze flaking, shallow surface scratches and firing irregularities, a single hairline (approx. 14 cm long) above the foot, possibly original to the firing process.Weight: 10.3 kg Dimensions: Height 45.3 cmThe 'hundred deer' motif was very popular, as the landscape depicted contains important symbolic references. The subject of deer has a long history in Chinese art, as it refers to the rebus where the Chinese word for 'deer' is a homophone for 'emolument' or 'civil service salary'. The 'hundred deer' motif therefore represents the ultimate success, a career in government service in Imperial China.Literature comparison: A Qianlong-marked vase of closely related size (45 cm) in the Beijing Palace Museum is illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - 39 - Porcelains with Cloisonne Enamel Decoration and Famille Rose Decoration, Hong Kong, 1999, pl. 85. Other examples include a pair in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Selected Ceramics from the Collection of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hu, Shanghai, 1989, pl. 67; one in the Nanjing Museum, included in the joint exhibition with The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Qing Imperial Porcelain, 1995, no. 86; and another from the Grandidier Collection in the Musee Guimet, Paris, illustrated in Oriental Ceramics, The World's Great Collections, Tokyo, 1981, vol. 7, pl. 190.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 23 March 2018, lot 834 Price: USD 47,500 or approx.

The recessed base with an underglaze-blue six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi and of the period.Provenance: From the collection of Captain Charles Oswald Liddell, acquired in China before 1914 and thence by descent. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Captain Charles Oswald Liddell (1854-1941) worked in China from 1877 to 1913. He married Elizabeth Birt in 1880 in Shanghai and thereby inherited Birt's Wharf there, expanding the business to Hangzhou, Tianjin, and Harbin. Liddell collaborated with A. W. Bahr in an exhibition in Shanghai in 1908, as Chairman of the North China branch of the Royal Asiatic Society and in writing descriptions for it, which were printed by A. W. Bahr in “Old Chinese Porcelain and Works of Art in China” in 1911. Charles Liddell had formed his collection, except for three pieces, while trading in China for nearly forty years. He purchased a number of them from two significant sources: Prince Chun, the last Regent of the Qing Dynasty, and the private secretary and adviser to Li Hong Zhang. In May 1929, Bluett offered a part of the collection, publishing a catalog of “The Liddell Collection of Old Chinese Porcelain” with 229 entries. One of two Guyuexuan bowls in this exhibition was sold to the Hon. Mountstuart Elphinstone for GBP 150 and was part of the Elphinstone gift to the Percival David Foundation. The second of the two bowls was acquired by Charles Russell, and was subsequently in the collections of Barbara Hutton and Robert Chang, eventually selling in Hong Kong in 2006 for GBP 10,000,000. Condition: Good condition with minor old wear and minimal firing irregularities, the exterior rim with four small and shallow glaze chips and associated touchups.
